CLAREMONT, N.H. (AP) — Selling her plan to lower college costs and student debt, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the GOP candidates for president didn't mention "one word" about making college affordable during last week's Republican debate. Clinton this week unveiled a $350 billion plan to address higher education costs, in part by encouraging more state and federal spending, making it easier for students to refinance loans and capping loan payments based on their incomes. To help make the case for her plan... Читать дальше...

Wearing neither a helmet nor a shield, the St. Louis County police chief strode directly toward demonstrators, telling them to get out of the street and urging calm. The scene was markedly different on Monday night and early Tuesday, after the St. Louis County executive declared a state of emergency, a move that gave Belmar — instead of interim Ferguson Police Chief Andre Anderson — control of security. Officers lined several blocks of West Florissant, rather than staying confined to a smaller area. Читать дальше...

Of all the outdoor summer theaters in the Bay Area, Transcendence Theatre Company has the most unusual venue. With stars overhead and rows of grapevines climbing the hills behind them, the space is spectacular on its own and even more lively when a company of musical theater veterans from New York and Los Angeles perform a Broadway-inspired concert as part of the “Broadway Under the Stars” season. The performers, whose Broadway credits include “The Book of Mormon,” “Mama Mia!,” “Les Misérables” and “Hairspray,” among others... Читать дальше...

Jordan Spieth does not have to win the PGA Championship to replace Rory McIlroy at No. 1 in the world. [...] Spieth might not get there even if he does win his third major. Spieth finishes in a three-way tie for second and McIlroy is out of the top 33. The only way for Spieth to finish alone in third and get to No. 1 is for McIlroy to miss the cut. In a move that forces the hands of European players, new chief executive Keith Pelley said the European Tour will not sanction the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone next year. Читать дальше...

Havana’s large, lively and long-innovative Los Van Van has been the foremost exponent of Cuban timba music, a fusion of Cuban son and charaga styles with elements of North American pop, since being organized by Juan Formell in 1969. The bassist died last year, but “the train,” as many fans have called the band in reference to the richly layered Afro-Cuban rhythms that keep dancers in constant motion, continues to roll on under the direction of his son, drummer Samuel Formell. The current lineup consists of three trombonists... Читать дальше...

Matt Braunger could be resting on his “MADtv laurels”— poring over those long-ago plaudits for his J.D.

[...] it appeared that Alexander, a convicted murderer who lived in an adjoining cell, was being made to suffer the consequences. For days after the June prison break, corrections officers carried out what seemed like a campaign of retribution against dozens of Clinton inmates, particularly those on the honor block, an investigation by the New York Times found.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has intervened in a lawsuit over Palestinian attacks that have killed Americans, advising a judge that requiring a hefty bond payment in the case could financially destabilize the Palestinian government. By intervening, the government said it was trying to strike a balance between its support for the rights of terrorism victims to be compensated and concerns that a large bond imposed while the verdict is on appeal would weaken the legitimacy of the Palestinian Authority and undermine “several decades of U.

Primitive Man embraces the abyss Denver’s Primitive Man has only been releasing tracks since 2013 but is as hyper-productive as the best of them — and their take on doom metal means it’s one hell of a slow blast. “Loathe” is the lead track and more or less the actual single from said EP, but the concluding “A Marriage With Nothingness” might have the most harrowing title of them all, underscoring that sometimes a world-ending apocalypse can take the form of two people in a room.
